On Thursday, March 10th, WDAV wrapped up its Spring 2011 Membership Campaign – 9 hours earlier than expected and more than $11,000 over goal! Thank you to all the volunteers who answered phones. To all the restaurants who donated meals. To all the guests who joined us on-the-air. And to the 1,403 people who are investing more than $196,000 to lend their support to WDAV and classical public radio in this region.

Message from WDAV Donor Catherine Connor
I am more excited about WDAV than ever before. Let me tell you why:
I joined the board of WDAV around 1998. During my early years on the board, I had no idea how radio in general or our station in particular worked. I had been a WDAV listener (and I think a WDAV member) since around 1983.
Note from WDAV listener Deborah Woods
WDAV listener Deborah Woods sent us this message at 9:15 AM today — the first day of our Fall 2009 On-Air Membership Campaign:
You Did It – Thank You!
Thank you to the hundreds of listeners who answered WDAV”s call to end our fiscal year “out of the red, into the black, and onward to the future.” You responded by contributing $50,880 to WDAV”s cause in three whirlwind days!
At many stations, an end-of-year fund drive can sound like pure drudgery. But you heard – and responded – to something different on WDAV. Our staff, our wonderful volunteers and our listeners share a passion for the music. And you heard that passion, that commitment to what we do, come through loud and clear. It”s in the voices of our hosts, the eyes of our volunteers, in the dollars – and in the remarkable, touching, meaningful comments from our listeners. Lots of first-time members commented with glee about helping us meet those hourly pledge goals. And many of you gave a second (or even third!) gift for this fiscal year, because you know how important it is for WDAV to finish the year on solid financial footing.
Thank you for making the community of WDAV 89.9 Classical Public Radio bigger and stronger than it has ever been. We are humbled by your generosity and inspired by your commitment to this great classical music of the Carolinas.
And remember: On-air campaigns account for just half of WDAV”s critical operating funds. So if you didn”t get a chance to contribute yet, you can still or call 877-333-8990 during business hours anytime before June 30th!
